CORAL SPRINGS, FL, Nov. 3, 2016 /CNW/ - With increased momentum in the legal marijuana operations market due to the quickly approaching elections in the US and other economic and environmental factors, operators in the cannabis industry continue to capitalize on the evolving opportunities presented in the form of advanced innovation, leading edge products and emerging services. Companies in focus this week in the markets include: Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA), Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), mCig, Inc. (OTC: MCIG) and Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC: CBIS).

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC Pink: SGMD) today announces its CannaShroud(TM) cannabis transport packaging system specifically designed to allow for discrete and protected transportation of cannabis. The product is available immediately for vendor orders at the Company's new website, http://www.CannaShroud.com, and will be stocked in local dispensaries and hydroponic supply stores and will be available to consumers online over the coming months. "With more than a decade in the packaging business, CannaShroud is a product line we are very well equipped to deliver to the growing cannabis marketplace, "commented CEO Jimmy Chan. "We designed this product in conjunction with legal growers and dispensary personnel to solve their specific needs to improve transport security and discretion. We are already taking orders for the products."

CannaShroud is a two-piece cannabis transport packaging system. The inner liner is polyethylene with a unique dual zip lock that seals air from entering the package and seals in the odors from contents, all while optimizing moisture preservation. The liner is specifically designed to prevent airflow, while not being so thick that it becomes difficult to load materials or to handle. The liners are sized to exactly fit the outside carton, which makes up the second section of the packaging. The cartons are discretely labeled with generic shipping labels or are blank as not to reveal the contents being shipped. CannaShroud will be available in four sizes to suit the specific shipping needs of the growing cannabis industry.
